THORNDIKE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Published May iqoS bo' PREFACE ^ This book attempts to trace the course of English tragedy from its beginnings to the middle of the nineteenth cen- -j tury, and to indicate the part which it has played in the ^ history both of the theatre and of literature. All tragedies of the sixteenth century are noticed, because of their his- torical interest and their close relationship to Shakespeare, but after 1600 only representative plays have been con- sidered. The aim of this series has been kept in view, and the discussion, whether of individual plays or of dramatic conditions, has been determined by their importance in the study of a literary type. Tragedy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has attracted very little critical atten- tion, and in those fields the book is something of a pioneer. The Elizabethan drama, on the contrary, has been the subject of a vast amount of antiquarian, biographical, and literary research, without which such a treatment as I have attempted would be almost impossible. In order, however, to keep the main purpose in view, it has been necessary to omit nearly all notice of the processes of research or the debates of criticism, and to give only what seem to me the results.

Carol McGuirk Augustan Influences on Allan Ramsay Allan Ramsay's pastorals, songs, elegies, satires and epistles, in which neoclassical and dialect elements were mixed, had es­ tablished him by 1720 as Edinburgh's most popular poet. The whole spectrum of Edinburgh's literate and semi-literate popu­ lation supported Ramsay's work, which was extensively circu­ lated in broadside sheets. By 1719 he was so well known even outside Scotland that a pirated edition of one of his pastorals was printed at London. By 1720 an octavo collection of Ram­ say's most popular pieces was issued at Edinburgh, and the following year a more ambitious quarto edition was published there. 1 The subscription list for Ramsay's 1721 Poems included what must have been nearly every nobleman who was even a part-time resident in Edinburgh (such as the Duke of Queensberry), as well as a large contingent of advocates and doctors from Edin­ burgh's formidable professional classes.

  • “Taking Back Sappho: Poetic Adaptors, Translators, and Her Legacy of Control”
    “Taking Back Sappho: Poetic Adaptors, Translators, and her Legacy of Control” Siobhan Claire Hodge 20146976 B.A. (Hons), The University of Western Australia, 2010 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities Discipline of English 2014 1 Thesis Abstract Title: “Taking Back Sappho”: Poetic Adaptors, Translators, and her Legacy of Control The fragmentary worKs of the ancient GreeK poet Sappho of Lesbos have occupied a privileged place in the English-language literary canon since the recovery and translation of some of her worK in the sixteenth century. However, she has been subjected to a range of appropriations and constructions, including clumsy English translations, heterosexualised pronouns and myths, and “socially acceptable” reinventions as a schoolteacher and supportive maternal figure. Despite this, Sappho’s poetry can be seen as retaining its persistent, subtle focus on self-control and how to exercise control over others. Contrary to visions of Sappho as a gentle poetic speaker, a consistent portrayal of a much more cunning and manipulative figure in her poetry can be identified. Subtle hierarchies of voice and space have not gone unnoticed. Some women poets, writing across a range of centuries and contexts, have recognised and adapted Sapphic themes and techniques to articulate similar needs and desires. In this dissertation, I closely examine the worKs of some of these poets in order to illustrate not only the scope of Sappho’s influence on later writers, but also the diverse ways in which Sappho’s own poetry presented these influences. Presented in six chapters, the investigation begins with examinations of three of Sappho’s most well Known texts: Fragment 31, Fragment 1, and Ovid’s Epistula Sapphus.

  • Ambrose Philips' the Distrest Mother: the Myth of Andromache in English
    Beyond Philology No. 16/2, 2019 ISSN 1732-1220, eISSN 2451-1498 https://doi.org/10.26881/bp.2019.2.07 Ambrose Philips’ The Distrest Mother: The myth of Andromache in English (Neo)classicism MARÍA SEBASTIÀ-SÁEZ Received 31.01.2018, received in revised form 2.01.2019, accepted 6.01.2019. Abstract The focus of this paper is an analysis of the Ambrose Philips (1674- 1749) neoclassical tragedy The Distrest Mother (1712). This play is an adaptation of Jean Racine’s (1639-1699) Andromaque (1667), which is, in turn, an adaptation of the Euripides’ ancient Greek tragedy Andromache (ca. 426 BC). Philips’ tragedy is an example of an early English adaptation from Racine. Philip took Racine’s play and moulded it to appeal to English taste. Therefore, this study shall analyse Philips’ play focusing on his innovations, mainly in com- parison with the Racine version, but also with the ancient Greek myth. Key words Ambrose Philips, Andromaque, neoclassical tragedy, Racine, moral plays 110 Beyond Philology 16/2 The Distrest Mother Ambrose’a Philipsa: mit Andromachy w angielskim (neo)klasycyzmie Abstrakt Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest analizie neoklasycystycznej tragedii Ambrose’a Philipsa (1674-1749) pt. The Distrest Mother (1712), bę- dącej adaptacją Andromachy Jeana Racine’a, która jest z kolei adap- tacją starożytnej tragedii Eurypidesa zatytułowanej Andromacha (ok. 426 BC). Tragedia autorstwa Philipsa stanowi przykład angielskiej adaptacji Racine’a, bowiem Philips wykorzystał sztukę Racine’a i do- pasował ją do angielskich gustów. W niniejszym artykule analiza skupia się na nowatorstwie Philipsa, szczególnie w zestawieniu jego sztuki nie tylko z wersją Racine’a, lecz także ze starożytnym, greckim mitem.

  • Metaphysical Poetry the Metaphysical Poets Is a Term Coined by the Poet
    1 ( 1 ) Metaphysical Poetry The metaphysical poets is a term coined by the poet and critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group of English lyric poets of the 17th century, whose work was characterized by the inventive use of conceits, and by speculation about topics such as love or religion. These poets were not formally affiliated; most of them did not even know one another or read one another's work. Given this lack of coherence as a movement and the great diversity of style between poets, it has been suggested that calling them Baroque poets after their era might be more useful. In the chapter on Abraham Cowley in his Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets (1779– 81), Samuel Johnson refers to the beginning of the seventeenth century in which there "appeared a race of writers that may be termed the metaphysical poets". This does not necessarily imply that he intended metaphysical to be used in its true sense, in that he was probably referring to a witticism of John Dryden, who said of John Donne: He affects the metaphysics, not only in his satires, but in his amorous verses, where nature only should reign; and perplexes the minds of the fair sex with nice speculations of philosophy, when he should engage their hearts, and entertain them with the softnesses of love. In this . Mr. Cowley has copied him to a fault.[1]:15 Probably the only writer before Dryden to speak of a certain metaphysical school or group of metaphysical poets is Drummond of Hawthornden (1585–1649), who in one of his letters speaks of "metaphysical Ideas and Scholastical Quiddities".[1] Nor was Johnson's assessment of 'metaphysical poetry' particularly flattering, since he wrote: The metaphysical poets were men of learning, and, to show their learning was their whole endeavour; but, unluckily resolving to show it in rhyme, instead of writing poetry, they only wrote verses, and, very often, such verses as stood the trial of the finger better than of the ear; for the modulation was so imperfect, that they were only found to be verses by counting the syllables..

  • Augustan Poetry 1 Augustan Poetry
    Augustan poetry 1 Augustan poetry See also Augustan literature (ancient Rome). In Latin literature, Augustan poetry is the poetry that flourished during the reign of Caesar Augustus as Emperor of Rome, most notably including the works of Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. In English literature, Augustan poetry is a branch of Augustan literature, and refers to the poetry of the 18th-century, specifically the first half of the century. The term comes most originally from a term that George I had used for himself. He saw himself as an Augustus. Therefore, the British poets picked up that term as a way of referring to their own endeavors, for it fit in another respect: 18th century English poetry was political, satirical, and marked by the central philosophical problem of whether the individual or society took precedence as the subject of verse. Overview In the Augustan era, poets were even more conversant with each other than were novelists (see Augustan prose). Their works were written as direct counterpoint and direct expansion of one another, with each poet writing satire when in opposition. There was a great struggle over the nature and role of the pastoral in the early part of the century, primarily between Ambrose Philips and Alexander Pope and then between their followers, but such a controversy was only possible because of two simultaneous movements. The more general movement, carried forward only with struggle between poets, was the same as was present in the novel: the invention of the subjective self as a worthy topic, the emergence of a priority on individual psychology, against the insistence on all acts of art being performance and public gesture designed for the benefit of society at large.
